BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:04 P.M.) – Reports are coming in that US-backed forces have launched an all-out offensive against the Syrian Arab Army and allied paramilitary groups near two government-held towns in Deir Ezzor province.

Moments ago, opposition sources began to report that forces of the US-led Deir Ezzor Military Council began storming positions of the Syrian Army and National Defence Forces at the government-held towns of Khashim and Tabiyyah on the eastern shore of the Euphrates River as part of an determined assault to capture the settlements.

The assault by the Deir Ezzor Military Council is being backed up by artillery, however, so far no instances of airstrikes by coalition warplanes against positions of the Syrian Army and allied forces have been reported.

The Deir Ezzor Military Council is a completely separate entity from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Rather than just receiving military support from the US-led coalition, its fighters – virtually all ethnic Arabs – are actually on the payroll of the US Department of State and under the direct strategic guidance of the Pentagon (quite like the Free Syrian Army mercenaries at Al-Tanf).

No gains by US-backed forces appear to have happened yet. Sources are stressing that the SDF is in no way involved in the offensive.

Either Russia draws a line or it starts giving much more substantial support to Iran. The question of Russian supply of military equipment to Iran is purely political and not financial, Iran doesn't get the best Russian equipment because of politics.

Yep it was what threw out the Noahide controlled yanks out of Vietnam plus a lot of fragging of officers was very nice and really ended the war....

But the Vietnamese really need to be held to account...maybe a court hearing in the Hague why they didn't kill that insane lunatic Mccain while he was a POW...that is unforgiveable from the vietsnamese

By all accounts when the NVA picked him up they couldn't shut him up he gave them everything but the Washington phone book LOL!!

His daddy that covered up the Jews bombing the USS Liberty had a lot to do with it I presume...but why did the Viets give a shit?

They released all the downed pilots,think it was part of the deal to end the conflict.also they lost hundreds of aircraft shot down over North Vietnam,thats what it takes to get their attention.http://vietnamwar-da...ietnam-war.html

There are those that do not enjoy my posts here on Pravda, on Yahoo, on twitter, etc.

Twitter, several thousand views per day. Yahoo, they may be shadow banning and Fox hates me. Looks like some israelis coming onto the picture here as well.

The turmoil in Syria we do know - Kikey lost and got their butts beat. The US under Trump was supposed to let Russia manage this war as he promised,. We don';t know who exactly got slammed and who shot what save for a few instances,
